by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 11/21/21) Jesus was rightly called a “Man of Sorrows;” He often sighed and groaned as He saw the curse of sin on this world and on His people. But there was one time when Jesus rejoiced: Luke’s gospel tells us about this, and about why! Did He rejoice about…
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 11/14/21) Jesus often used natural examples to illustrate spiritual truths. In the first eight verses of John chapter three, He described the new birth to Nicodemus by using three different natural terms that Nicodemus would have understood: the womb, the water, and the wind.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached 10/17/21) In this message, we begin to look at the first of Job’s miserable comforters.
